Adorable cozy spot. Open seating concept with both high and low tables--I didn't know how important this was until traveling with children. Since we ordered coffee next door, we were in search for a breakfast spot to grab muffins--they had an assortment! The branding and products for sale are adorable but I'm a crazy cat lady so I'm all about anything cat related. read more

Coffee is good; specialty coffees below average. Customer service at Waterside location is very poor; staff behavior suggests that they don't want to be there and don't want to provide service. Limited indoor seating; ambiance when seated outside is scenic, and comfortable. In summary, the service is a dealbreaker and won't be going back. read more

This is the perfect little coffee shop in Sarasota. The aesthetic is very 2016 hipster - in a good way. So it doesn't feel outdated by any means. My favorite part of the shop is actually interacting with the baristas. They are so funny and friendly. Fortunately the coffee lives up to the atmosphere and service. The cold brew is awesome. It's definitely a pricey caffeine fix - buuuuuut it's downtown Sarasota so it would be weird if it wasn't. read more

O&A does not have ANY type of cream. Majority of Americans add cream to their coffee so why is this not an option? They are not a vegan/vegetarian coffee shop so why not offer the most common coffee additive?? So confused. The coffee also took about 10 minutes to prepare which is fine when it's pour-over style. What I did not appreciate was the barista acting like I had an attitude for waiting. I simply walked over to a hightop sat and looked at my phone until the coffee was ready. I only went here because Breaking Wave next door was closed. Will definitely take O&A off my list of coffee shops. read more

i'm typically a latte drinker and my husband loves cold brew. their lattes are so delicious (and not overly sweet), and their cold brew is so flavorful. they also sell ethically-sourced coffee beans, growlers, tshirts, hats, tumblers, mugs, and various other coffee supplies. the baristas are always friendly and confident in their craft. the owner (justin) is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet; he is passionate about coffee, building relationships, and kansas city sports haha. if you haven't tried O&A, definitely stop by their storefront or visit their tent at the sarasota farmers market on saturdays! read more

When I tell you that I have NEVER experienced such disgusting customer service... I work in the coffee industry. I have been for 6 years, & w/ that I've visited MANY shops in my day. And this experience was by far the absolute worst. The second we walked In there, immediate silence and what seemed like avoidance. Snickering between both baristas before even looking my direction. My sisters Matcha took forever for them to make, and my cold brew was average. honestly nothing special. When asked how they make their matcha, I was given the "get out of my face" response. Her exact words were "oh just like regular" LOL okay that doesn't explain anything... they didn't even call out our drinks for us to grab, they didn't say a word to us UNLESS WE asked first. Maybe I just have high expectations since I do manage a coffee shop.. If any of my baristas treated customers this way they would be warned, written up and then fired if the behavior stayed. Lol good luck getting new customers, telling everyone to stay away from this place. 2 baristas (don't know their names) both female working 10:30am June 12th 2021. read more

Expert made coffee, based on season and elevation... I don't know the science behind it... But Justin sure does! Probably one of the best kept secrets in Sarasota Downtown area. Whenever I am in the area, I can't help but gravitate to get a cup.

I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a cup of coffee in the morning, or whenever for that matter. read more

My go-to coffee order is a hot café con leche, and this one hit the spot. Rich, smooth, and exactly what I was hoping for. I'll definitely be coming back for more. One thing I really liked is the setup. After you get your coffee, you can walk around to the back and hang out.
